Willy Ghayus Alexander Lasut was a military officer and governor of North Sulawesi. His tenure as Governor of North Sulawesi was abruptly terminated after only 16 months in office. No official explanation was given, but during his time as governor, many of his actions were deemed disloyal to the central government. He enacted a plan that raised the price of the local commodity of cloves to 17.500 Rupiah. This greatly increased the livelihoods of local producers, but angered those outside of the province who were receiving \"dividends\" from clove sales. Lasut refused to resign and protested his dismissal by not attending the swearing in of his replacement. Lasut died on 4 April 2003 and was buried in the Kalibata Heroes' Cemetery in Jakarta.

Aden Colony was a crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1937 to 1963 located in the southern part of modern-day Yemen. It consisted of the port city of Aden and also included the outlying islands of Kamaran, Perim and the Khuria Muria archipelago with a total area of 192 km² (74 sq mi). Initially a key port for the British East India Company, it was annexed by the British in 1839 to secure maritime routes and prevent piracy in the Arabian Sea. Its strategic position at the entrance to the Red Sea made it a vital stopover for ships traveling between Europe, India, and the Far East, especially after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. Aden quickly became a major coaling station and transit hub for British shipping, and its significance to the British Empire grew throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.
